ELEE 6316 Signal Integrity and Electromagnetic Compatibility
Analysis and mitigation of electromagnetic effects with an emphasis on high-speed digital circuits. Topics include: review of Maxwell's equations and transmission lines in the time domain, analysis of digital signals in branched circuits using lattice diagrams and simulations, mutual inductance and capacitance, modal analysis of multiconductor transmission lines, crosstalk, brief review of power plane design and power integrity, electromagnetic compatibility definitions and standards, methods for suppressing unwanted emissions.
Prerequisite
Students should already have (a) at least one semester of engineering electromagnetics, (b) a thorough understanding of circuit analysis including DC, AC, and transient analysis using Fourier and Laplace transforms, and (c) the ability to set up and run both transient and frequency domain circuit simulations.
